The Ruth Fire is at 1300 acres and only 20% contained as of quarter to nine this Saturday morning. Reports of power and telephone lines being down and structures being burnt. This is not a Calfire blaze. It is being handled by the US Forest Service.  I will update as I can find information.

UPDATE 12:20 am 9/25:  The latest here.
